R. v. Maulddi s/o Yusufu, Crim. Rev. 22-D-67; 26/6/67, Hamlyn J.
Accused was convicted, inter alia, of doing grievous harm (P.C. s. 225). Accused was showing a firearm to a friend when the Weapon discharged, wounding the friend. Accused stated, “I had no intention whatsoever to wound my friend,” but the magistrate entered a plea of guilty to the charge.
Held: No amount of mere negligence or lack of care will suffice for a conviction of grievous harm. Intent to perpetrate such harm is an essential element of the offence. Accused acquitted.
